Using AI is like using a calculator
Too early and you ruin everything
What if primary school students get to use a calculator to do basic math?
And soon if the teacher had taught them how to operate a scientific calculator to solve advanced math.
They would answer all questions correctly.
But they won’t understand why.

That’s my biggest concern about people relying on AI too early on complex topics or something they are not familiar with.
You become a fantastic problem-solving machine, but is there personal real improvement?
You can’t change things without understanding the ‘why’, you can’t even design a good question or problem worth solving.
“Then I can learn about advanced prompts to solve more complex problems” you might think.
But there aren’t so many complex problems in the workplace.
The majority of the people are doing the same thing — Selling, executing, overseeing execution, discussing, and aligning different parties.
What separates talent is their ability to do the same things differently and effectively. That is only possible if you understand the underlying fundamentals.
